For those among you who dare shop online, I have been watching items in a couple of reputable sellers who packs a lot of Pentax goodies (won some, lost more...). Here are some I keep looking at...

Henry's (http://search.stores.ebay.com/henrys-com_pentax_W0QQfciZ0QQfclZ3QQfsnZhenrysQ2ecomQQfso oZ1QQfsopZ1QQftsZ2QQsaselZ3344887QQsofpZ0) (Toronto, Canada): has a lot of refurbished, used and open box Pentax stuff. Last I looked there were a number of *istDL (silver!) some with the closing bids at under $300. A number of FA lenses are listed, some at under $50!

K-Mount Treasures (http://stores.ebay.com/K-Mount-Treasures_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm ) (USA): has a lot of used K-mount lenses, an occasionally M42 and film bodies, most are in very good condition ... but priced expensively.

I can vouch for Henry's as I've dealt with them before - no problems. Can someone update me on paypal? Last time I tried they still won't accept membership from the Philippines.

They do. Limited nga lang. You first sign up and an initial spending cap of a little over a $100 ($120 I think) and then you have to sign up for the "expanded use" thing in order for you to spend beyond that limit. That arrangement allows you to buy but not sell. In order to sell online, you should have a US based bank (or credit/debit card). Although the "expanded use" allows you to be "verified" ...daw (see http://www.unionbankph.com on their FAQ on using the EON debit card with Paypal).

Henry's does not use Paypal. They accept direct credit card payment through a different checkout provider. K-Mount also offers an alternative payment system: Bidpay.com.
